BDFEDIT(1)

NAME
bdfedit - Tcl/Tk-based editor for BDF fonts

SYNOPSIS
bdfedit [filename|-|font@[server[:port]]]

DESCRIPTION
Running bdfedit brings up the font editing window. If a font was specified on the command line, this font is loaded (use - to load a font from stdin). The font must be a BDF font, and can be specified as a filename. It may also be the name of a font, and a fontserver, in one of the following forms:

  font@server:port
  font@server           (defaults to port 7100)
  font@                 (defaults to localhost:7100)

and "font" should be the name of the font. In order to use this method, you must have "fstobdf" installed on your system and in your PATH, and you must have a fontserver running somewhere. Fonts loaded this way will assume the filename is the same as the fontname (without the server or port), with ".bdf" appended. This method of specifying fonts may also be used when opening fonts with the "Load" option in the "File" menu.

See /usr/doc/bdfedit-1.3/bdfedit.help for more information.
